Does the stand need to be on a flat surface in order to work properly?

No it does not have to be flat I have a Toyota Highlander and it has a reasonable amount of contour and it sticks with no problem

I bought one for my son and it was mailed to another state. My son, a techy, is happy with it. I read the advertisement and it states it is also windshield mount. Also, from the available pictures, I can see that the phone holder is ball mount, therefore, it can be moved 360 degrees for viewing. The advertisement states it comes with 3M sticky tape for surfaces not perfectly flat - so you can put the tape on a flat surface, mount the rubber gripper, then mount the suction clip device holder. I think you would be safe with this purchase.

I have been pleased with this product. I drive a Jeep Wrangler and the U grip does not come loose. Did have to clean it and remount after six months, but it is doing well. It can be mounted at an angle too.

The mount for this stand is for cylindrical bases only it won't mount to a flat surface.

No. Operates best with its flat bottom on a flat horizontal surface. Tilt of less than 20% is acceptable.

It needs to remain on the stand unless you mount it to a wall. Hope that helps.BKD

Yes on a hard surface the case works as a stand. After prolonged use the small tab is easier to use to make the stand.

Yes, if you put something flat to support each metal stand. Just know when getting up the ramp, it will not be a smooth transition.

Yes, it is designed to stand upright on a flat surface. Putting it on a night stand near you bed is a good idea. You can also take it with you while traveling, also a good idea. It does NOT need to be mounted near the ceiling.

I don't think so, since the wood is low quality and the part of the stand that goes on a surface is wobbly and thin.

I have not used it in that position, but it stays put in the normal position. The stand is great!

It comes with a small plastic stand that you can position on a flat surface.

No, it's better to use it on a solid flat surface. The rear legs are higher than the front so it leans forward and the fans are exposed on the bottom.

Yes, although this stand does have a tendency to be a little bit shaky. It's not weighted very heavily at the bottom so I really would only recommend using it in an upright position. But it CAN do what you are asking.

Yes. Gravity is the primary mechanism for the stand. It works. There is a small strap at the top you can secure using a screw into the wall.

I am not 100% sure but I would think the surface that you attach it to would need to be flat...sorry hope that helps a little.

Not from my experience, but you need a really flat surface to run it on for it to be 100% smooth

no. the screen has a built in slot in the bottom that the stand fits into. the vertical sides are to thin to be supported by any home made stand.

Yes, that's exactly what I did, and it worked just fine. The stand is solid!
